THE FRAUDULENT HELMBOLDS, How the Genuine Helmbold Protects © His Customuers and the Public 2o Against Pirates, Dr. Henry 'T. Helmbold, of New 'Y«’nrk city, has been ont on the war path recently, and the ficld of his op¢rations has been the- gity of Chicago. Dr. Helmbold is widely known throughout this country in connection with the celebrated “Buchua,” said to “be an efficacious remedy for maby of the-ills which flesh is heir to. The great demand for this preparation led certain unprincipled » parties to get a spurious article of the kiud, and trade npon the Dictor’s réputation, It appears that #ix mouths ago Dr. Helm. bold learned that conuterteiters were at wok, and that the market was being flooded with spurious articles bearing ‘his ‘name.| The manufactory of the bogus article was finally found to be located at the rear -of No. 100 Washington street, Chicago. The countgrfeiter was a former: specialist, and“now engaged in the manufacture of -spring ‘beds. His piratical adventure was ‘suggested to him by the names of two Germans, George and Fritz Helmbold, which he found in “he city direciory. They were both _poor, unsophisticated men, one of them being a mere boy, ignorant even of the English language. Whittier made = written contract, with them, whereby e agreed to pay them $l,OOO per anaum for their, labor in makivg spring’ bed frames, aud the additional sum of 210 per month for the use of their name in the making of medicinal preparations. Having thus provided him~elf with a good name, Whittier pro. ceeded to issue a preparation called “Helmbold’s Buchu,” with wrappers aud labels closely resembling those cf the (genuine article. The real Helm bold soon heard of the traud, and he at once made a descent upon the enemoy. Whitiier fouud himself enjoined by Judge Drummond of the United’ States Court trom proceeding further i the fraudi Awaction was also com‘menced against him in the same court, mr which damages were laid at $2.000, while, proceedings were gaid to be in c@utemplation for his indiciment for conspiracy. Swornaflidavits of George ¥, and Fritz Helaihold were placed in he hands of Dr. Helmbold’s attoroeys, 'iiscloring th¢ maonet in which their mmes had been obtained. Under these circumstauces Whittier rosolved’ apon an ‘unconditional surrender. He lelivered up the key of his laboiatory, ind handed over bis lithograph stones, lecwory pes, plates, dics, stamps, and dl'the marerial and equipments of his business, with a list ot all parties who nad purchaged his epurious preparaion¥, aud the namesyto whom it had’ wen consigned, or Who were in any way connected with his ‘nefarions businegs. He alzo gave 2 boud in $20,000 that.he would refrain from similar irerpassex for the future. =~

= Dr. Helmboid’s object: in thus promptly checking the operations of he Chicago counterfeiter was less with + view to punish the pirate than to se-. cure the public against any similar trauds that may be attempted. Having expended immense sums of money in advertising. his. extracts and reme-, Jdieg, land bringing home to the people 4 knowledge of their merits, he has deérmined 10 adopt such measures as will prevent anything but the genuine atticle from beiug foisted on purchasers. e e& — 3 ; -’ 'ToYoung Men, i It is/ easier to bea good business man than a poor oune. ~Half the energy displayed in keeping ahead that is required to catch up when behihd will <ave credit, give more time to busi’ aess, and add to the profit and reputa-, ion of your word. Honor your en-! gagements. If you promise to meet a man, or to do a certain thing at a certain moment, be ready at the appoint~d time. 1f you have work to do, do it at once, ‘cheerfully, and therefore more speedily and correcily. 1t you zo out ou business, attend prompily to he matter on hand, and then as prompily go about your own buriness, Do nwt tell stories in bueiness hours. If, you have a place of business, be found ‘there when wented. No man can get rich by setting around stores and saloons. Never. “fool” on busiuess matters. If you have to labor tor a living, remember that one hour in the morning is better than two at night. If you employ others, be on hand to see that they attend to their duties, aud to direct with regularity, oromptness, and liberality. - Do not meddle with any business you know nothing of. Never buy any ‘article simply because the.man that seils it will tlake ‘it out in trade. Trade is. money. Time is money. A good bu~iness habit and repatation is always money. Muake your place of business pleasant and attractive; then stay there to wait on customers.

“Never use 'quick ywords, or allow yourself to make hasty or uvgentle--mauly remarks to those jn your employ ; for to do so lessens their respect tor you and your influencelover them. Help youreelf and others will help: youn. Be faithful <over .the interests confided to your keeping, and in good 'ime. your respousibilities will be in creased. Do not be in too great haste to get rich, Do mnot build uutil you have laid a good foundation Do not —ae _you hope to work for success—spend your time in idleness. 1f ‘your time 18 your own, business will suffer if you do. Ifit is given to another for pay, it belongs to him, and you have uo more right to steal that than to steal money. . Be obliging. Strive to avoid harsh words and personaliiies. Do not Kkick every stone in the path; more miles can bg made in a day by going steadily on ‘than by stopping to kick. Pay as you go. A man of hgnor respects his word as he does his bond. Ask, but never beg.- Help when you can. but never give when you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable. .Learn to say no.— No neceseity of snapping it out dog fashion, but say it dirmly and respecttully. Have but few copfidants, and the fewer the better. Usé your owii, brains rather than those of others «— Learn to think and ‘act for yourself. Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather than behind the time. Loy

i Copper. e = } The metal known as copper derives! | its name from the Latin word caprum, . which alao designated that part of the ;’islatd of Cyprus in which this metal | was first mined by= the ancient ! ] Greeks. : i Copper was one of the first metals | knowni to man, and was employed for a variety of useful and ornamental pur- | "poses. | From it were made images, % iusrr'uments of war, mechanical logpb. ‘ and many hounsebold utenrils. - Brovze; | is a_union of copper and tin, and | claims priority over all other alloys.— | It is alladed to- in the 4ih. Chapter of | Genesis, where Tubal Chin is deserib- | ed as “an instructor of every artificer in bra.s and , iron.”” The word brass in this counection signifies bronze, for | this ‘date was auteriorto the discovery | of the composition of copper and zinc. ! The Syriaus and Phenician, and like‘wise the Greeksand Romans used cop- ] per very largely in' the erection of | monuments and ‘statues.. Sometimes ! these strucrures were of pure metal ! "but most commonly they were made “of bronze. Lo A g ¢ Copperis very malleable, and al<o | very ductile. So great is its tenacity | “that a copper wire is capable of sup | porling a' very great weight without | breaking. Copper is very extensively | ased tor the sheathing of =ships, for | m:king boilers; kettles and cooking | uteénsils. In ludia, on Ihe occasion of | the death of a Hindoo ot rank. custom } provides tl:?t évery Brahmin present at the fuferal .be presented with a’ “brass cup, and number thus disposed | of is sometimes very large. | | The liability of copper to oxidation | from exposure to air or damp is its principal defect, but this is in a measure overcome when alloyed with tin. The compound is less lieble to rust | and gather verdigris. It isalso hard- | er, densér, and more sonorous. If the f tin equal one-gixth of the mass it is i very brittle, and theproportion must | be lessened wutil the proper medinm | iz attained. : !

Bell metal is made. of an' alloy of copper, tin aud zine, aund is extremely well firted to the purposes«forwhich it is used. - For’ cannon a lower proportion of tin is commonly used. Some kinds of bell metal coptatn, besides Ihe usunal alloy, small quautities of antimouy and zilver, | , _ An ul!o_v of copper and tin, when the latter meral does not exceed onethird of the mass, resulis in a very beawiful, compound, of the color 'of steel, very hard, aud susceptiblerof a brilliaut polish. It is used to some extent in the construction of mirrors. This application of the metal is one of great antiquity, and is mentioned by Pliny, the historian These’ mirrors are admirably adapted to tlhé re. fteciion of light for’ optical purposes; and this combination is therefore called speenJum metal, ‘ Copper is_abundaunt in Great Britain, Saxony, Sweden, Russia, China, Chili, Prussia, Japan, and the United States, The most productive mines in England are those in Cornwall. lln this country Lake Superior is the great copper mining regious of the Continent. The copper minés of Sweden are supposed to have been worked over one thourand years, In thesev enteenth century the 'Dalecartia mine yielded an aunual product ot 8 000,000 pound’ of pure metal ; but it has since greatly, fallen off, and the quantity now obtaiped is limited. The copper mines of Chili, are also very rich, but the best_ ore is obtained in Japan, which contains the richest mines of this meial if-the world. -It is much purer and brings :a higher price than any other variety of bar and ¢lab copper. — New York Mercantile Journal.

bl Good Humor. There are few things in the world that contribute more to the sum of each’ individuals happiness than the cheap commodity .of .good humor.— Crossness, discontent, and a disposition to.be miserable: not ouly gake their victim unhappy, but spread, around him a dismal aimosphere of wretchedness that all uohappy who comes within its range. The ill natured man deprives himself of an immense "amount of good feeling that he might enjoy, aud defrauds all associated with him of their rightful share of comfort and peace. There is a good deal of innocent enjoyment and happiness in the world, harshly as we sometimes speak of it ; and they are within easier reach than we are disposed to imagine. It is not great successes, achievements, wealth, honors, and good fortune that make lgp, the sum of each persons happiness ; all these will contribute to the matter ; “but the real source of joy is within the individual bosom. and good hamor is its outward expression. A sour natured man cannot be made happy by all the successes, riches a:d hounor * that may be visited on him; and a ¢heerful, hopeful,-pleasant tempered man cannot be made permanent ly auhappy by the deprivation of all, these incidents and ajuncts. Thesoul that is dark and gloomy cannot be warmed and brightened by the reflection of outward surroundings ; and the soul that is bright of itself eannot be darkedwithholding from it the glare of wealth and honor. It reflects the pure light of the heavens ; the songs of the birds, the beauty of the fields, the sound of the waters, the colér and f-agrance of flowers, the elegance of all the star.studded firnfament, the harmany of all naiure, all awake pleasant echoes within itself, and fill it with joy and delight. Itis a privilege to be with good humored, persons for everything around _them becomes bright and cheerful from the contagion. They may have unothing particular to be happy about, but thvy are happy in spite of that, and they commupicate their own joyoas feelings to others, without suffering a loss"by the division. . o S e) e e St. Louis rewards the United States Marshal who took the ceneus of that city with a service of silver plate.

§ T D R T T NS TR v ] ’ Our Judiciary System. The Evansville Courier, and several oth: ; er papers, take decided ground in favor of | abolishing Common Pleas Courts. The | Courier-argues “ that the Common Pleas. Court is not required for the transaction of the business of the people. It ought to | be abolished. ' Expenses to the people are { multiplied as the number of courts.are in f creased beyond what is absolutely needful | for speedv adjustment of the business of | the general public. . There can be but one | reason urged for the retention of the Com- | mon Pleas Court, and that is, for the | transaction of our probate business. Ifa | better way can be had for doing that bus ¢ iness, then the best argument for main- | taining the Common Pleas Court upon’ - our stdtutes is answered and refuted. The | great desideratum in settling up decedent ‘_ estates is ‘speed. This’is more economical i and better for all concerned. It adds to | the widow's mite and the orphan’s share In a word it enables creditors to be paid | promptly, cuts off bills of court costs, | which too often devour estates, and gives | the remainder of the decedent’s property ' to his wife and little ones. i “The Comtnon Pleas Court, which meets but thiree times in the year, cannot furnish i-this indispensable protection to theé inter- ' est of estates. It is slow, cnmbersome and ! expensive. There is nothing that weighs % more heavily upon the mind of a dying E father and husbaud than the reflection L.that his little propercy' must go into court ! and be hacked and chiseled by officersund | lawyers, and frcquently melted awdy in ; exorbitant fees befure his family can enjoy | it. ) | : a { “ What we want is'a County Court, ali ways ready and openjito do probate busi- | ness. Then we obtain'speed and economy. é The Circuait Court, the circuits being cut | down to'two or tiree counties, as they i ought to be, cun bold its térms more fre- ; queptly,and turnish all the facilities re | quired by the people for the transaction L of their business, both civil and criminal. ! Then our -judiciary would be simple ard i uniform, while the general burthen, inc i-dent to/ every system of judiciary, would | be very materially lightened.”

How It Was Done. We belong to that class of persons who believe that the people have a right to know what their representat’ ves, or “leaders” if you please, are doing at “head quarters.”! jHence we feel - justified in transterring to our columns the explanstion of an active, zealous Democrat, whowas a candicate for Director of the South ern Prison before the democratic legisla tive caucus at Indianapolis on the 10th inst, but. like several other. deserving gentlemen, met with cruel defeat. We refer to Col. A. T. Whittlesey, editor of the Evansville” Courwer, who writes as follows in his paper of the 13th: | “A good many of the friends of the editor of this paper offered their sympathies and condolence yesterday in- consequence of his defeat for Director of the Southern Prison before the Indiana Legislature.-— With one accord they seemed/ to think that our failure resulted trom the fact that two candidates for the same. position were presented from the First Congres. sional District. This, to some extent, is an error. It is true that we might have reeeived a few additional wotes in case Col. Jones, of the Rockport Democrat, had not been a candidate, and very likely-Col. Jones would have received a small addi tion to his vote, if we bad declined. But it is safe to say that neither of us would have received 8 nomination, even with a clear field. The difficulty consisted in the fact that the Democrats of the First District relied golely upon their natural rights, and made no | * entangling ~alliances” tasecure the success of nne of their own number, Ia other words, they did not disgrace the Sabbath day by holding a caucus at the Bates' House, to arrange a “ring” that would be all powerfal. “The Second Congressional District presented six candidates for Prison Director, and the Sixth District quite as many, and with such a force opposing each other, both disticts Irew prizes. - The Sun: aay arrangement at the Bates House did the business ‘ 3 “Without desiring to arraign any Democrat for - want of fairness, we can safely say that nothing but a united effort of the Democrats of the p cket will ever secure or thew fair treatment in the distribution o 1 favors, s el ' ** We do well enough in casting votes at elections, but in securing the l:r:m:ﬁtE of a victory; unity and action is necessary, and this has never, as far as we know, been encouraged by the Democrats at this end of the State. ' But we apprehend we shall uaderstand ourselves in the future. The Pocket has been voting for the benefit of professional office seekers about long enough” - | ‘ e — e . The House of Representatives has gau ed the Senate bill for the issue of §5OO, - 000,000 new & per cent. bonds, with an | amencment that th{s amount shall not be cescesded.. i v . o ; :

- From the Evansvitle Courier, Jan 15. Polities - What is Expeeted of News- , , papers. i | We refér, to-day, with especial gratification, to an editorial which we copy from the Evansville Journal with refer-. ence to the demands made upon newspa., pers; and. while endorsing its consérva tive and just sentiments, as far as they go, we ~deem the wccasion a proper one to make some observations that are truthful, as we believe, but unpopular as we know, It makes no difference to us, personally, ‘whether men who engage in polities for a livelibood endorse our views or not. We care as little for.them as they do for us, and we guess that expresses, on both sides, as small an opinion of each other as”we can possibly get into language that will be understood by the class to whom it is especially directed. If the political moun . ‘tebanks, who run the “machine” for their own advantage, can get along without the aid of the press, we imagine the press can survive without their wonderful patron age. | i We quite agree with our neighbor in saying “the poorest patrons and the most exacting in their demands, and the most impertinent and offensive in their ‘criti ciems, we have generally found to be politicians who always manage to turn party successes to - their own advantage; in a way that is surprising to the uninitiated.” We go further. We have tound by bitter experience, that the same class of politi cians have generally been ready to demand the services of editors and publishers for nothing, while they regard the lahored editorials and gratuitous notices that give them prominence, as something that prop erly belongs td them, and, instead of be ing thankful, they generally find fault because more is not said in their favor.— In truth they received far more than their merits deserved. - s N 7 )

When an election passes in which their party is successful the same class of ceT‘morants are always ready 'to maguify. their own .importance and tell on every str et corner, and in all public places, of the wonderful efforts they made to achieve success. But if defeat attends their efforts with ‘one accord they charge the calamity apon the party organ, and .swear by all that 18 holy that its mismanagement, want ot pradence and wultreism was the sole cause of the defeat At the same time it is commonly true that the editor in charge has burned up scores of communications, “suggestions,” and even full-pledged edi torials written by the same’ parties, in their own praise, more extreme, intemper ate and hasty than any extremism that ever found place in the editor’s brains, By a long- experience in the chair editorial we have gained an insight into the patriotic motives that move professional politiciane. We have filed away some thing:less than a ton of their kind suggestions as to what had better be said in their behalf under circumstances when they required championship. We only regret that a naturalty kind disposition has made us too ready to trumpet the fame of these men, who when asked to re-_ ciprocate, very politely told us that 80 wmany persons had been their benefactors, that they felt it their duty to mantain a strict neutrality ! A We fully agree with our neighbor in saying that * we think it time' for newspapers to emancipate themselves from such thraldom, and have it understood that party drudge-work is not their mis sion, and that their labors deserve and must receive pccum’_arg} recognation at the hands of thosewho veceive the benefit of theselabors.” In 8o saying, we disclaim any wish to black mail parties who seek public office (and we think our neighbor will enter a like disclaimer,) but we do mean to say that men who seek to have their horns blown, for their personal benefit, mus® ‘expect to pay the parties who blow the horns for them. OF, in plain language, we design to do, hereafter, as our neigh‘bor suggests, “make politics only an ad junct, rather than the aim” of our paper. We feel that our position will bé felt and appreciated by certain parties in the future. - While it will relieve usfrom a world of ‘annoyance, it will afford us an opportunity to maintain:friendly personal relations with our brethren of the press ; such relations are often disturbed’ by the wiles and machinations of ungrateful politicians.

Pay Up. ‘ In behalf of the basiness community in general we say to all payup! Do not tell your grocer, tailor, or shoemaker, printer, or hutcher, when he calls upon you for “that little balance,” thut ‘“you haven't the, money about you,” or “call to-morrow,” o 1 “I bave a draft to pay in bank, and can'’ possibly do anything to-day,” or make any other of the thousand standing excuses by which payment of debts is put off and deferred. - 1f .you will pay him, then- bis creditor, perhaps, will not goaway empty banded. . Your money will be kept mov | ing, and after awhile, probably, get back to, you again. -If everybody complains and grumbles about * hard times” and scarcity of money, getting all they cau, and keeping all they get, then the times will be hard beyond a doubt.. But let every one adopt the paying policy, and matters will be eased up wonderfully.— Pay your big bills and little bills to everybody—so long a 8 you have money pay it out on your debts. This isthe true policy, the first policy, and it will pay in the long run. el & R — i Proceedings of the Boards of County g Commissioners. There 1s almost a universal demand for the passage of a law by the present Legislature requiring the official publication of the proceedings of the Boards of County Commissinners in one or more newspapers in each county. Under the present system, continues the Terre Haute Journal, the ‘people have no knowledge of the transactions of these boards, and’ it is believed that if their proceedings were made ‘'known and scarned by the people, & saving of mote than sufficient tv pay.the expense of publication would be the result.

2 From the Evansville Courier, Jan.. 15, . '~ . The Truth Aptly Stated. - The following is from our cotemporary of the Evansville Journal,” The term of this article js just, the statements'a e true, and for the vein of kindnese. and sympa.. thy which pervades the wills we feel . gratefully obliged. ' The Journal says : _ “The defeat of Cols. Whittlesey -2nd Jones for the office of Director' of the Southern Penitentiary, though somewhit annoying and humiliating to these gentlemen, is:nlhhing more than they might! ‘have reasonably uxprcte‘d;,[ The truth of the matter is, editors and' publishers. ‘ot newspapers.are regarded by a majority of politiciads as mere pack horses; to carry the burdens of the varinus political caw- - paigus, in- consideration’ 6f which they (the politicians aforesaid) are always prompt to relieve them of all the burdens of holding office; Tae poorest patrons, and tlie most exacting in their demands, and the most impertinent and offensive in their criticisms, we have generally. fotnd to be politicians who always man: age to turn party successes fo their own advantage, in a way that is very surpris. ing to the uninitated. © We-think it time for the newspapers to emancipite themselves . from such . thraldom, 'dnd haye if. understood that’ party drudge work is not their mission, and that their labors deserve and must receive pecuniary recig: nition at the bands of those who receive the benefit of these labors. 7 . Messrs, ‘Wittlesey and Jones have both worked hard for the sitceess of their party. They have labored for: the -party for years, when no rewards were even pros: pectively within reachr Yei, because a few politicians think it to the interest of the party—and through the party, of themselves—to reward a political rene gade, they must stand aside. . SWhat's the use,” argae these designing fellows, “we have tha services of Whittlesey and Jones whenever we need them; but Mitchell might go back on us, if we don't se cure him an office.” 8o the two former bhad to stand back for the latter. The sanie thing is true of the Republicans as of the Democratic party, and ought to’ convincé editors that their policy is ‘o make politics' only adjunct, rather than theend and aim of their papers. When they do this they will experience different tréatment at the handsof self constituted leaders who nhw assume to run the ma chines in both parties. Cs We are sorry to learn that theiDemocracy desecrated the Sabbath day by holdinga caucus at the Buates House, [was it Jim Hughes" room ¥] vut are highly grat. ied to know that the candidates from” this District would have nothing whatever to do'with guch’iniguitons proceedings: Their defeat under such circumstancesonly adds to their honor.” o

- We assure our neighbor of the Journal that the cancus beld in the Bates House at Indiwnapolis last Sunday, did not tuke place in the rooms of Judge Hughes. The Judgv‘s roomsare on the lower floor, and far too easy ‘of access ‘to outsiders.-— The caucus was held— - . T *Up in the batk room, boys, Lo Up in the back room !"* Burning of the Madison Free Press. It is with regret we announce the consamption by firejon the night of Monday, the Och instant, of the printing establishment of the Madison Free Press. The es: tablishment was™ one of- the best in the State, ar.d the Free Press wasa paper that Lad a wide circulation, not only in Jeffer son county, but throughout that district. Muj. John D. Simpson, its enterprising. proprictor and able editor, is a young man just married, and all be bad accumulated by years of labor and strict attention to basiness, has been-swallowed up in this conflagration. Major Simpson i 3 the dem: acratic Represéntati\ie from the counties of Clark, Jefferson and Scott, and was ‘at ludisnapohis in attendance upon his duties at the time of the fire, and for a num: ber of days remained there st his post, though all lie has of propertylon earth, the accumulation:ot many years-of toil, had been swept away The loss sustaived by the Major is about $6,000. The Democracy of the gallant Third, who recognize the Free Press as a powerful auXiliar_y ,i‘n the political fight, will not allow the paper te die out, but out of their means, will place it again on imprcﬁhﬁ_hle ‘groyads, \'mde‘r tne control of Major Simpson, o

" We do not believe_that many of our citizens are in any way negligent or careless about - taking: proper pricautions to prevent the destructioniof their property by fire. But we have heard of one or two cases which would Indicate that one or two persons, at least; are “inclined to run a little too much rigk. We'allude to the practice of using coal oil to start firz with, It might start a larger fire than would be desired. Others go to church, or to some place of amusement, leaving the house with a burning lamp in it, that they might . have a light ready when they returp.— Therg is a chance that such a lamp may some time light up the entire place. e B—————— o The Next Presideney. . A number of Eastern papers eontinue to mention the aame of don. M. C. Kerr . in connection with the Democratic nom.’ ination for the Presidency. Some of these notices are extremely laudatory of Mr. Kerr, though not unmerited by that gentleman, yet we do nnt deem it prudent to transfer them to our columns, believing as we do that the time has not come for a gen‘eral canvass Of'Lhe merits of men for that distinguisbed position.— Besides, we speak from personal knowledge when we state that the asweciation of the name of Mr. Kerr with the Democratic nomination for the Presidency is not-agreable to the feelings of Mr. Kerr, nor has he for a single moment given the. slightest eountenance to such a movement. Mr. Kerr seeks above all else the unity and harmony of the party. Heé is anj earnest supporter of Mr. Hendricks, but always loyal to the party will' yield a hearty support to the choice of the great Democratiz party when the time of election transpires. But aside from this Presidential question, 1t gives us great pleasure to. note she recognition, by such States as New York and Pennsylvania, of the ability and statesmanship’ of our dis. tinguished Representative. His political career has not.been a long tne, but he has made his mark in every'position’in which" the Democracy have placed bim,and he now stands in a place of proud preemi‘nence among his peers in.the House. He has nbtnineg the respect and confilence of all, even his parsy opponents, unt by partizan. truckling,- or the wire palling of the schemers, but by:a broad aad comprehensive statesmanship, an ljpgt’i‘lfpéucl;able integrity, and a restiess zeal for the -good of the country: Such characteris: tics always command the vudmimhiqg of the world, and sooner or later will b recoguized — New Albany Ledger.
